MTA Service Sector Governance Councils Schedule Public Meetings for July 2003

Tuesday July 01, 2003

MTA’s service sector governance councils have set their public meetings for July. Residents within the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, South Bay, and Gateway Cities areas of Los Angeles who are interested in helping improve bus service in their communities are invited to attend, where they will be allowed to comment on governance council agenda items.

Governance councils work closely with MTA’s community-based service sectors in studying and planning service to improve the efficiency of MTA bus operations and make recommendations to the MTA Board regarding service issues. The council also works with transit planners, local authorities and transit operators to ensure coordination of service and holds public hearings to gain input on proposed changes.

Fivecommunity-based service sectors were created last year to localize control of bus operations and improve the quality of service to MTA transit customers. They are: The Metro San Gabriel Valley Service Sector, The Gateway Cities Service Sector, The Metro Central/Westside Service Sector, the Metro San Fernando Valley Service Sector and the Metro South Bay Service Sector.
